Summary:
ZIP code 98331, which covers the Forks, Washington area, contains just two elementary schools — Forks Elementary School (grades K–4, 368 students) in Quillayute Valley School District and Queets-Clearwater Elementary (grades K–8, 37 students) in Queets-Clearwater School District — a small, rural group of schools with very different sizes, grade spans, and district settings.
Forks Elementary is the larger school and the only one here with usable test results. Its clearest strength is math: 42.64% of students met the standard in 2025–2026, well above its district's 24.54% and nearly matching the state's 43.11%. Math also rose from 36.03% the year before. English language arts is the weaker area, at 37.98% — about 14.83 percentage points below the state and roughly even with the district — with 3rd grade ELA the lowest relative result at 18.65 points below state. The school's state rank improved to 751 of 1,138 (34th percentile, 2 stars), its best of the past three years, though still below the state median.
Queets-Clearwater is a very small K–8 school: 37 students, 78.38% free/reduced lunch, $31,307 in per-student spending, and a 10.1 student-teacher ratio. That is a higher-poverty, higher-spending, smaller-class setting than Forks (62.5% free/reduced lunch, $17,855 spending, 14.3 ratio). All of Queets-Clearwater's test values are shown as "—", meaning the state suppressed them to protect student privacy, so its academic performance is unknown rather than weak. Parents comparing the two should weigh size, grade span, and resources, since direct achievement comparisons between them are not possible from this data.
